Glimpse in to the future third division....
Didn't see a thread on this, but a classic today and keeping with tradition of bizarre events in this competition.

Translated and DFC were most kind on this, the 'unforeseen circumstances' was North End could not field a team. Into the semi finals then for Dundalk and 2 wins away from the glory years once again.
Incidentally, Bray still have a group game to play, and one team is into the semi finals of the competition - outstanding stuff.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).

The Semi final teams are Bohs, Dundalk and St Mochta’s. The last QF to be played is Pats vs Drogheda which hasn’t had a date set yet

they need to put a bullet in this lame horse
I'd actually forgotten all about this and my team is in the semi. As a pre-season competition it's fine. Good matches to get minutes in to the legs of players and the top premier teams can play the young lads to get them competitive minutes. However we are getting towards the end of the season now and who is going to risk any of their players in a match like this. If Dundalk get drawn with Mochtas we might be able to play the match in the free week we'll have for the cup but can't see where it or the final will fit in otherwise.
In true Leinster Senior Cup fashion, the 2025-26 competition is due to start before the 10th of August, which is almost certainly before that Pats vs Drogheda QF from the 2024–25 edition will be played
The 1st/2nd/3rd round draw is here for anyone interested in their ametuer football:

Ive also just realised I’ve no idea how it’s determined which teams enter in which of those 3 rounds but hey, it’s the LSC and it’s not supposed to be make any sense or be easy to understand I suppose!
